NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India’s annual wholesale price inflation accelerated to a 15.08%% in April from the previous month’s 14.55%, remaining in double-digits for the 13th month in a row, government data showed on Tuesday.
April’s figure was highest since at least April 2005 according to Refinitiv data, and higher than 14.48% forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts.
Fuel prices, a big component of the increase, were up 38.66% on the year versus 34.52% in March.
